Shanghai Art Museum is the foremost contemporary art
museum in People's Republic of china. Established over 40 years ago, the
museum through continuing expansion gradually becomes an important space
for the social and culture exchange in shanghai. Responding to the needs
of a rapidly developing cultural environment, as well as a growing artistic
community,

Shanghai Art museum is relocated to its new site in the beginning of year
2000. The new shanghai Art Museum is located at # 325, West Nanjing Road,
Shanghai (previously the shanghai Library). The entire structure was built
in the 1930's with a total area over 18,000 square meters. Internal renovation
is currently underway in preparation for the coming Shanghai Biennale
2000. The exterior of the building will remain untouched in order to preserve
its historical value as one of the few structures in shanghai with an
early 20th century European architecture. Currently situated in the heart
of shanghai, with close proximity to both The Shanghai Museum and the
Shanghai Grand Opera, Shanghai Art Museum will definitely be a focal point
of the city's cultural life.

Shanghai Art Museum and its staff look to the new millennium with great
enthusiasm. It is hoped that the museum will become a world-class establishment
in terms of its exhibition facilities, resources and collections, a center
for cultural expressions, art education, information exchanges and intellectual
discussions in Shanghai's contemporary art scene. This has always been
the dream of generations in the Shanghai art community and we are much
honored to finally witness its realization.

As the renovation of the new museum site and the planning of the coming
biennale continues, we eagerly look forward to future cooperation with
individuals, companies, foundations and organization, nationally and internationally.
